micropore

mi·cro·pore

(mī'krō-pōr),

An organelle formed by the pellicle of all stages of sporozoan protozoa of the subphylum Apicomplexa and also found in developmental stages that may lack the inner pellicle layer; it is composed of two concentric rings (in transverse section), the inner of which corresponds with an invagination of the outer pellicle membrane. Micorpores thus far observed seem to serve as feeding organelles; their role in nonfeeding developmental forms is unknown.

n1. microscopic pores created by enamel etching in order to increase sealant adhesion. n2. an organelle in certain protozoa that develops at the site of a damaged membrane.

Obviously, the addition of infiltration agent in the preparation process of the gradient lubrication layer effectively optimizes the wetting property of the lubricants on the matrix, so that the soft alloys can easily be infiltrated into the micropores of the ceramic matrix [9].

In this study, we analyse aggregates of soil in which the original structure has been maintained and thin sections of undisturbed soil at [micro]m-scale in order to resolve the distribution of Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu around micropores by [mu]-XRF and their speciation by XANES.
